ing grounds, to-wit:
(1) Said award is insufficient and inadequate
compensation to the owner of said property

damages incurred by them by reason of said
� taking, and violates the rights of the ornrner
and lessee under the U. S. Conatitution, the
Minnesota Constitution, the pertinent statutes
of the State cif Minnesota, and the provisions
of the Charter of the City of Saint Paul.
(2) The proposed award is unlawful as to tIze

into consideration the damage to the lessee
by reason of the severance of the leased
premises at said location which, on information
and belief, �ras a factor not considered in the
proposed av�rard and as to both the owner and
the lessee in that it is based upon appraisals

NOTICE OF OBJECT [ ONS TO PROPOSED AWARD
T0 : The Council of tf�e City of Saint Paul
This law f � rm represents the owners ofi the property
located at 395 East SeventFi Street, Sa �nt Paul , Minnesota .
That property is owned in part by Ethel L . Levey , as surviving
joint tenant of Sam Levey, and in part by the trustees under
Trust "A" and Trust '�B" of the Last Will and Testament of Sam
Levey, Ramsey County Probate Court File No. 123703. This
property is presently leased to and occupied by General Tire
Company .
We have 6een advised of the proposed taking of
parts of s•a � d property in connection witFi the widening of
Lafayette Road and of the proposed award ofi damages therefor.
The public hearing for the determinat� on of amount of damages
to be awarded to the owners of the above described property
and the condemnation thereof , with respect fo File No .
17525 , has been set for July 28, 1971 , at 10 : 00 A . M .
Notice is hereby given , pursuant to Section 270
of the Charter of the City of Saint Paul , that the above
named owners of the premises involved object to the proposed
taking and proposed award of damages therefor on the follow-
ing grounds :
I ) Said award of damages is insufficient and
inadequate compensation to the owners of
sa 'td property for the damages incurred by
them by reason of sa 'rd taking , and thereby
violates the rights of the owners under the
United States Constitution , the Minnesota
Constctut�on , the relevant statutes of the
State of M'rnnesota, and the provisions of
the Charter of t[�e City of Sarnt Paul ;

2 ) The proposed a�rard es unlawful as to the
owners of said property � n that it totally
disregards tf�e loss of income to be sustained
by tF�e owners of this rental property , thereby
appraising tfie value of sa �d property after the
tak'tng at an amount tFiat is substantially below
its actual value;
3) The proposed award � s unia�tful because, upon
information and belief , it is based upon
appraisals which determine the severance damage
to 6e susta � ned by only a part of said premises ,
whereas , the Charter of the City of Saint Paul ,
Sect�on 269, requires that the award of damages
be based upon tFie d � fference in value between the
ent� re tract 6e�ore the taking , and the value of
the entire remaining portion of said property after
the taKfng , as further required by the various
const[ tut�ons and statutes mentioned in Paragraph
I ) hereof , and 6y acknowledged appraisal methods .
